The Methodist Church offers two main levels of Safeguarding Training – Foundation and Advance (formerly Leadership). Both come under the heading “Creating Safer Space”.

The Training being run at South Parade at 0930 on Saturday 25th May is Foundation level training, and it is the “Foundation Refresher” course aimed at all those who need a top up having previously done the Foundation Module within the last four years or so.

What Do I Need To Read Beforehand?

It would be a huge help if you could familiarise yourself with the Policies, Procedures and Guidance from the Methodist Church Website. That’s a big document, but it really helps to know what’s in it so that you can refer to it as a resource.

You will all be given a copy of the Foundation Module Handbook, but it wouldn’t hurt to see it beforehand and familiarise yourself with the contents.

You are invited to join the Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury District as they come together for “Courageous Conversations on Marriage and Relationships” – a space welcoming people holding different perspectives where we can open the Bible together; look back over what the Church has said and done regarding Marriage & Relationships; consider what it means for us to be a people living with contradictory convictions and prepare for further conversations in 2019/20.
